01.29.05 12oz bottle. Amber-brown pour; large, fading head. Looks like it should, I think. Aromas are biscuity, light grassiness, fresh bread; flavors incorporate these plus a big dose of caramel. Decent beer that doesn’t get boring, yet not too thrilling either.

Pretty good. I liked the bitterness of this beer. It reminded me of Sierra Nevada a little bit. Not bad at all.

A standard ESB. Good but not great. Love the fact that it is Jersey tho. Decent flavor, but nothing remarkable.

This is a good esb - smooth creamy body full of caramel biscuity malts, herba/fruity aromas, good assertive hop edges and finish. Another solid beer from Flying Fish.

Bottle - thanks to slob. Pours clear copper with a creamy light tan head that lingers well and leaves nice lacing. Malty aroma, slightly fruity with light floral hoppiness. Bold malty flavor has nice tart notes and a brisk hop finish. Medium body, gentle carbonation. This could be a good session ale.

Poured a medium golden color with a small white head. Aromas and tastes of some malts and orange citrus. Smooth body. Drinkable (but nothing that really stands out).

A little on the light side, some malt giving way to slight bitterness. This is not bad as a beer, but its only fair as an ESB
